THE ROUTINE REPORT.
CHICAGO, April 2S.-The wheat market was
nervous and unsettled again to-day. The
feeling was weak and large quantities of
'slong" property were thrown on the market.
In spite of the big offerings, however the
price WAS held moderately steady, and there
was no sensational drop in prices such as was
expected in the event that it could be shown
that the clique had abandoned the bull
campaign May delivery opened &c lower
than last night at S15sc, sold as low as sic,
and closed for the day at S1@S11sc, with June
commanding 1%c premium. The clearanceS
from the seaboard were 35T, 200 blu. The
speculative offerings in corn were also large,
and prices declined 1000 from the closing
figures of yesterday. The receipts continue
light, while the outward movement is large.
The receipts of oats were large and in sympa-
thy with the other markets. a further de-
cline of A@ssc in the market occurred.
Mess pork was unchanged. Lard was in
little better demand and closed 10c per 100
lbs higher Short ribs closed sc per 100 lbs
